Yoga is a spiritual practice that aligns the mind, body and spirit through breathing exercises, stretching and meditation.
I have been a yoga student for over ten years and a teacher for eight. Through time, personal practice and studies- I noticed the positive benefit Yoga had on my overall health, but especially how it relieved many debilitating mental health symptoms. I began to study more and developed a simple, easy practice that helped lead my own life out of crisis- into a place that felt sane, safe and centered. Now that I identify as a person in recovery, I am compelled to share this powerful wellness tool with others. |
In November of 2013 I became certified as a Peer Specialist, this certification empowers people with a mental health diagnoses or co-occuring disorders to work within the behavioral health system, advocating for their peers. Certified Peer Specialists work closely with participants in treatment programs to foster individual healing paths that work with the specific needs of each person.
It is a revolutionary model that holds limitless potential. As a CPS, I have the opportunity to provide hope, inspiration and most importantly - support to my peers. This certification process brought me closer to understanding the next step in my path, blending yoga practices and authentic experiences with mental health to create: the Life you Love. |
